A simple slide guide to tubeless and hookless

[Baron Blubba]

The recent thread about hookless tubeless motivated me to make this series of slides for our shop social media and newsletter. I've shared it with local clubs and will be sending it out every so often. I know it's not comprehensive, and I know opinions will vary slightly on certain numbers. Before tearing it apart in idiosyncratic Paceline/Internet fashion, please keep in mind that this is intended for a less informed and tech savvy audience than most of the folks who frequent these parts and places similar. That said (heh), if you have any recommendations for how I could improve this, whether editing an existing slide or creating a new slide, I'd be happy to hear 'em.

For context, I've included the little blurb I posted, too. Also, the handsome dude setting up the tire in the first slide is my friend and ace mechanic, probably the most conscientious mechanic I've ever met, Ian.

"Tubeless and hookless tubeless are two of the most frequent conversations we have with our customers. Hookless tubeless in particular has been under the microscope of cycling media in the last few weeks. At B3 Bikes, we are advocates of road tubeless and hookless road tubeless, when done right. We designed this slideshow to help you do it right, so you can enjoy the many benefits of road tubeless in confidence and safety."
